Prosthetic long jumper Rehm achieves next world record

Berlin (AP) – The four-time Paralympic champion Markus Rehm has again improved his world record in the long jump.

The prosthetic jumper jumped 8.66 meters at the 18th edition of the Golden Roof Challenge in Innsbruck and improved his old world record by four centimeters. 33-year-old Rehm, who won the long jump and pole vault competition for the fifth time, relegated the Swiss decathlete and long jump specialist Simon Ehammer (8.12 meters) to second place.
